It seems as though things are heating up with regards to Death Stranding. Last night, Hideo Kojima posted a short teaser on his personal Twitter account, which led to lots of excitement for a brand new trailer. We already knew the studio was working on something, but it now seems to be finally set in stone.
Posted on the developer's own social feed, it looks like we'll be getting that new video on Wednesday 29th May. Whether we get anything else on top of that is unknown, but at the very least, we should get a crazy new trailer to pore over.
Are you excited to see more of Death Stranding? Are you enjoying the mystery of it all, or is it all too drawn out? Scratch your heads in the comments below.

It looks like it could be more than the usual cryptic trailer?
So does this mean this will be the first of the big 3 out I wonder? Not sure I see a reason for a new trailer now unless it is to reveal a release date. I thought the trailer was going to be part of the next State of Play but looks like it's standing on it's own.
Hype!! Canβt wait for it π
@JJ2 That's what I'm thinking. Not long to go until we find out!
@BearsEatBeets Considering how it wasn't vital for us to have our last State of Play when we did, they could have waited for this trailer.
I'm not expecting a definitive date but more of an "Early 2020" at the end of the trailer.
Actual gameplay or GTFO.
Can't wait to get confused and dissapointed.
This feels like the video game industry equivalent to the 2016 Acura NSX reveal process... long and drawn out. The end product is still an awesome car, though.
Why, yes, I'm a car geek. Why do you ask?
Hopefully we will get a release date.
I hope it's just another vague cinematic trailer just so it winds up a few people
I wonder if it will resolve some of the confusion, or whether it will just raise further questions
π cool playa.the same day as psplus is going to announce.word up son
Am I the only one making out Β« Eat Sting Β» with the Β« ropes Β»?
Things are getting sad when we get teasers about new trailers.
@ToniK Well it's got people talking so it must be working.
Can we get some raw gameplay with the surreal stuff this time?
We need gameplay ASAP or people will forget about this (until it comes out and everyone freaks like with PT.)
@AdamNovice I think I'm one of the few people who enjoys the Death Stranding trailers.
Let's be honest, gameplay is going to involve walking, running, shooting, stealth. I think we can all imagine what it'll play like. And we've seen bits of it in the last trailer. The story trailers are so much better, because they don't really spoil anything, and provide a ton of content to think/talk about.
Will certainly watch it but still hard to feel one way or another about this game. Really hope this trailer isn't just another crazy acid trip and had something a bit more substantial.
With kojima stating " Create the rope " my best guess is that this trailer will contain a gameplay demonstration on how connections are made. Maybe single player AND multiplayer variations. Then we have the stick.... which may be another gameplay trailer later in the year on how combat/stealth mechanics work.
@AdamNovice
@redd214 Iβm with you on this one. Iβm not nearly as on board with the Kojima hype as most people are. Thereβs aspects of what Iβve seen that are intriguing, but then thereβs other parts Iβve seen that I just think, βtypical Kojima game, weird for weirdβs sake.β
PS I know Iβm in the minority on my thoughts with that. Metal Gear was a great game, brought down by a convoluted story to me. I still enjoyed the gameplay, but every time I got to a cinematic I couldnβt wait for it to end.
What's the problem in not giving away too much, as long as the final product is good? In fact it works just fine for me, not going into a game already knowing too much about it. Hyped for the next trailer and expecting to see something confusing rather than clarifying
@Xaessya I'll take that as a compliment, whatever it is.
No more cryptic videos please kojima, we want gameplay!
Can we have at least 2 minutes of gameplay? And i mean gameplay gameplay not just walking and showing environments
@Octane Im with you on your post.
Went and rewatched some of Kojima's old teaser trailers. There's something so peculiar and beautiful about them.
Definitely crossing fingers for gameplay just so people have a solid foundation of what the game will be, while still be an experience for a lot of people to sink their teeths into.
Well this is one way for Sony to destruct attention from E3 lol.
@Paranoimia There have been gameplay videos.
@Flaming_Kaiser Just Reedus' character walking through different environments. Nothing I'd actually consider calling gameplay.
@Paranoimia If you can control the character walking and it's not just a video, it's gameplay.
@naruball In the PS1 T-rex demo I could control the direction it walked in and press a button to make it roar.
It's exceedingly generous to consider the simple ability to move your character to be gameplay, even if we were talking about Pong.
@Paranoimia That's not the same, but technically it's still gameplay. I get what you mean by "it doesn't feel gameplay to me", though.
@Paranoimia I do it was playable.
@Flaming_Kaiser If simply moving a character is what people perceive to constitute gameplay these days, no wonder there's so much crap on the market.
@Paranoimia Now we have gameplay. π
Yup.
And I wasn't overly impressed, if I'm honest. Not that there's anything wrong with it... just looks too weird for my tastes.
Mind you, spear-style attacks from Horizon... bike from Days Gone... scanning/searching from both Horizon and Days Gone... presumably reviewers will mark it down for copying the mechanics of other games. π
